RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file a report on the City’s Emergency Orders in response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
BACKGROUND
The City Manager, in his role as the City’s Emergency Manager, has issued a series of orders to respond to the pandemic and help prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Among the City’s Emergency Orders is the closure of all recreation facilities until further notice, unless authorized for specific operation by order of the State and/or the LA County Department of Public Health.
For instance, City park playgrounds have been closed since March 16, 2020, but were reopened to the public on October 9, 2020 following a directive from the State’s Health Department. The City has tied the reopening and reactivation of its recreation facilities and programming to the health orders and protocols of LA County.
The Historical Museum and Morrell House were closed effective March 16, 2020 and will remain closed until direction from the State and/or LA County allows these types of indoor recreation facilities to reopen.
